the glad surprise, the glint in her eyes

or will we dulled and angry

say goodnight for ever to the maiden rover?

~ ~ ~

The land that is England seems drawn,

she has long lost her smile

and tasted of a poisoned phial,

has she so little more to say?

– goodbye maiden fair.

I’ll love thee always … always.
